“Since Teacher Xia doesn’t need help, I’ll be leaving now!” Qin Xiao said, turning around and walking out of the office without giving Xia Shiya any chance to respond.
Xia Shiya stood there, momentarily speechless.
Who said she didn’t need help?
Why wouldn’t Qin Xiao let her speak?
Watching him leave just like that, she bit her lip, feeling torn inside. She didn’t know whether to chase after him and talk things over, because she really did need his help.
But Qin Xiao had no intention of paying her any attention.
Was he crazy enough to help Xia Shiya just like that?
He’d only said those words to make her anxious, to give her a sense of hope.
That way, it would be easier for him to negotiate terms later. He wasn’t about to help someone for free—what if he ended up like that good older brother of his, treated like some pathetic bootlicker?
Especially when it came to someone like Xia Shiya, who had that bit of white lotus air about her—the better you treated her, the more she’d think she was above you. You couldn’t spoil someone like that. Once her mind cleared up and she realized her real situation, she’d come to him herself.
Back in the classroom, Qin Xiao sat down and suddenly remembered the grand gift pack. He immersed his consciousness and opened it in his mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! All basic attributes +50, Eye of Insight acquired.]
[Martial skill “Suit-Wearing Brawler” template acquired.]
[Lifespan +50 years.]
Qin Xiao felt his body transform, filled with power from head to toe. Countless pieces of martial arts knowledge flooded his mind, as if he had mastered them through years of hard work.
“As expected of the system. The results are just on another level!” Qin Xiao grinned and immediately opened his attribute panel.
Host: Qin Xiao

Looking at the panel, Qin Xiao was very satisfied.
But the moment the protagonist showed up, everyone else would just stop thinking straight. Even the protagonist himself wasn’t that bright—how could others be any better?
In fact, the original Qin Xiao had been pretty outstanding in all aspects. He had the aura of a proper noble young master. Just judging by his base stats alone, his physical attributes were far beyond average.
That taekwondo though… yeah, a bit much.
He remembered in the original novel, after going head-to-head with the protagonist, Qin Xiao had pulled off a flashy flying kick, only to get tripped and almost crippled. He ended up extorting the protagonist for 108,000 yuan on the spot.
And that protagonist?
The Divine Doctor Dragon Emperor, the Domineering Live-in Son-in-Law—washed clothes and cooked for his wife’s family for three years, constantly slapped around by his in-laws. The guy had never even seen that much money. And the original Qin Xiao just scammed it off him like it was nothing.
Did he not feel the least bit guilty?
Aside from that, there really wasn’t much to complain about.
Now that Qin Xiao had the Suit-Wearing Brawler template, even if he couldn’t beat the protagonist head-on, it was only because of the difference in base stats—and he still had the system!
As for appearance, Qin Xiao was also satisfied.
Sure, he wasn’t quite as handsome as those readers who lived in romance novels, but a score of 95? That was impossible to resist.
What really shocked him was how long this original body could live. Even without the 50-year bonus from the starter gift pack, the original lifespan was 102 years?
Damn! That was one hell of a birth chart—hard as a turtle’s shell.
“What are you doing?” Just as Qin Xiao was lost in thoughts about his birth chart, a panicked and timid voice caught his attention.
He turned his head and saw his deskmate surrounded by several students.
Su Yao demanded, “What am I doing? I saw you sneaking around at Brother Qin’s desk earlier, so I came to check if you stole something!”
“I didn’t! The student council president asked me to help him organize some materials. That’s why I was sorting through the stuff on his desk!” Su Mengke quickly shook her head, clearly wronged. She would never do something like that.
Su Yao sneered, “Didn’t steal anything? Who knows. We all saw you! If you’re really innocent, then let us check your stuff!”
As she spoke, she directly reached for Su Mengke’s bag and started rummaging through it. Su Mengke looked aggrieved, tears welling in her eyes, but she couldn’t stop them.
Very soon, a luxurious and exquisite fountain pen was pulled out of her bag.
